What You Can Expect

Tokyo by Night: Japanese Food Tour

Greet your guide at Yurakucho Station and embark upon your epicurean exploration of the city. Immerse yourself in the electric atmosphere of Yakitori Alley, an atmospheric enclave replete with informal restaurants serving delectable yakitori (grilled chicken skewers). Smother this staple snack in home-made sauce then sip a sake for a refreshing aftertaste.

Next, venture to Monja Street to sample the local delicacy of monjayaki, a pan-fried pancake favored by locals. Learn about the snack’s interesting origin as you chat with your chef and listen to your pancake sizzling on the grill.

Continue to Ginza, a district thronged with confectionery shops, while learning about the rich variety of Japanese sweets. Sample a sweet then conclude your culinary tour at a local pub that serves refreshing local beverages (own expense). Bid your guide and group farewell but feel free to remain in the bar after the tour concludes.

This tour was amazing!! Enjoyed it the best. Got to try different types of Japanese food in small shops as well as shoju and sake. Not forgetting a stop at a desert store. Our tour guide was really nice and cool too.

We loved our Tokyo food tour. Our guide was great...cute and enthusiastic. This is the fourth food tour we've taken in various cities this year. They are a perfect way to get to know a city and its people. On this particular trip, we were traveling with two other friends. We had to reschedule the tour from the beginning of the trip to the end thank you Urban Adventures for your flexibility. I was kind of worried that our friends might be bored, since it was the last night. Of course they were as thrilled as we were. It was pouring rain, but that didn't matter. We ate some delicious food, met some other interesting travelers and saw a side of Tokyo that we had not yet seen. We'll continue to do these tours in every city they're offered!

We were in a small group of 12, and led by our guide, Ikune, who had a great sense of humor, and a degree in anthropology from Ohio State University. Our walking tour took us to a yakitori place near the Yurokucho station, a Japanese sweets seller in Ginza, and another restaurant two train stops from there. It was a good way to be introduced to the small restaurants only locals would know about.

This tour was a wonderful insight in to Tokyo's night cuisine. Our guide, Meg, was really helpful and knowledgeable. She explained the finer points of cooking and eating Yakitori, Monjayaki, Okonimiyaki and Chocomaki, as well as some of the history behind them. The restaurants we visited were top quality and would have been difficult to find without the help of a local guide. Beer and sake is included, so it's a fantastic chance to relax, enjoy the company and learn about what the locals do. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who has a passion for food and Tokyo alike.
